From animated cartoon shorts to full-length episodes, “The Simpsons” has entertained, enlightened, and embiggened the world for more than twenty years. No television program has managed to satirize society, impact popular culture, nurture the imaginations of multiple generations, rewrite the rules of scripted comedy, inflame sentiments, cross the proverbial line, enrage its critics, embrace morality, reflect humanity, become an international phenomenon, and just plain make people laugh quite like “The Simpsons,” and there is no end in sight for this historic  series.

This 1,200-page, full color assemblage of every episode from the first twenty seasons includes thorough episode synopses, famous quotes and quips from all your favorite characters, memorable moments, over four hundred character profiles, every song ever sung by the citizens of Springfield, every “D’oh” or “Mmm...” Homer has ever uttered, every chalkboard phrase Bart has ever written, every couch gag, every marquee message outside of the First Church of Springfield, a complete filmography of “Itchy & Scratchy,” a tribute to star of stage and screen (and infomercial and filmstrip) Troy McClure, the largest collection of Krusty the Clown merchandise outside of Bart’s bedroom, a barrage of your favorite sight gags as well as those you may have missed, trivia galore, a complete list of celebrity guest stars, and much, much more. Packaged together in the ultimate wraparound slip case and weighing in at almost 10 pounds, SIMPSONS WORLD The Ultimate Episode Guide is pound for pound and page for page the fullest and funniest book on the face of the Earth.

‘Tis the season for a holly jolly jubilee of winter wonderment from Matt Groening, the naughty but nice creator of The Simpsons. Join in the frosty fun and prepare to be wassailed with letters to Santa, hot cider, Christmas angels, Hanukkah gifts, New Year resolutions, one-eyed snowmen, snowboarder lingo, red-nosed rein-dogs, ill-conceived Christmas specials, and half-baked holiday hibernation diets. Glad tidings of great joy…it’s The Simpsons Homer for the Holidays.

It’s a classic holiday classics issue! Lisa is protesting the annual Thanksgiving turkey-cide, Bart is taking in a holiday sale at the Try ‘N’ Save, Homer is trying to save Mr. Burns from genetically engineered turkeys, and Marge (thanks to Homer) has nothing to serve her guests. Then, every kid in Springfield wants one of the hottest toys to hit the marketplace in years this Christmas…the new Itchy & Scratchy interactive playsets. However, one man stands in their way. One sarcastic, sandal-wearing, Internet browsing, mylar-sealing, “Star Trek” watching, fast food dripping, comic shop owner who has cornered the market. Brace yourself for the “Worst Christmas Ever!” Plus, Cletus goes to college. (Collects Simpsons Comics 51 & 52)
